I see comments like this a lot in discussions online. How many drones do you think they have? Do you think one drone operator can fly around taking out every one of thousands of people?
It’s like people think that drones equal omnipotence. The real air power is actual planes like the F/A-18 and A-10 that can demolish the shit out of any ground target. Drones are small and used for limited targets, and attack planes can do a lot more, and the US gov’t has all of them.

It’s meant to be slightly facetious to point out the ridiculousness of applying 18th century thinking towards 21st century technology.
